scottobearside note, when I hear the term, keep your eyes peeled, I think "peel" in term of the lid, thus, keep your eyes open.

Re: Apples and eyes
Date: 2000-11-25 05:14 pm (UTC)That which one holds dearest, as in "You're the apple of my eye." The phrase is from the Bible (Deut. 32:10), which says the Lord kept Israel "as the apple of His eye." Pupillam, or pupil, is actually the Latin for "apple" of the phrase, but English translators of the Bible used "apple" because this was the early word for the pupil of the eye, which was thought to be a solid apple-shaped body. Because it is essential to sight, the eye's apple, or pupil, is to be cherished and protected, and the apple of one's eye came to mean anything extremely precious. The literal translation of the Hebrew phrase, incidentally, is "You are as the little man in the eye" (one's one reflection in the pupil of another's eye).
